"I like Harvey Keitel and this name because it is a classic mans man, name. I definitely wouldn't name my boy a name that could be a girls name. We are naming our first boy Harvey James. Everyone I tell the name lights up and says they like it and haven't heard it for a while. We wanted to choose names for our children that were unique but at the same time not weird. Our daughter is Cordelia May." Nov. 3, 2014:

"Harvey is my brothers best friend name and it's not alot of people that I know with this name thats why it's a name that I like." Apr. 19, 2006:

"The name Harvey is uncommon. It makes you an the object of ridicule. It has negative associations such as "Un-cool" & "nerd." Characters named Harvey are never heroes, they're usually inept people who are pitied & laughed at. Anyone named Harvey is likely to go by a nickname or middle name instead of their given name."

"Reminds me of Two-Face, one of Batman's arch-enemies, known for his obsession with the number two (or 2), words related to that number, and his heads or tails coin. Prior to his left half being disfigured by acid, he was just plain Harvey Dent, an upstanding citizen of Gotham City where he was district attorney. Let's not, however, confuse him with The Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn." Jan. 21, 2008:

"There are two men forenamed Harvey in the Batman comic strips, not to mention Batman: The Animated Series (later renamed The Adventures Of Batman And Robin). One of them is Detective Harvey Bullock, a colleague of Commissioner Gordon and WPC Renee Montoya among other police officers in Gotham City, and the other is the one-time Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent, whose left half being disfigured with acid results in Dent becoming the villainous Two-Face." May. 1, 2008:

"Has actually made a comeback on the British side of the Atlantic in the past few years (Katie Price AKA Jordan the British glamour model named her son Harvey after her granddad), but it's hardly likely to climb the American charts anytime soon. It's not even in the American top 1,000 at the present time." Apr. 28, 2008:

"A shame that it's no longer in the American top 1,000 today - I think that Batman's arch-enemy Two-Face (once the Gotham City district attorney Harvey Dent before his left half was disfigured by acid), or maybe Harvey the Invisible Rabbit, put the name out of use. On a positive note, however, there is the American actor Harvey Keitel, but he's hardly likely to influence a new generation of Harveys at any time now or in the future." Apr. 27, 2008:

"My name is Harvey, and I hardly ever run into anyone with the same name." Dec. 20, 2006:
